Pretty shocking. Although not surprising at all :rolleyes: Thanks for putting those screengrabs together, very interesting to look at.

I've been buying oak planks to make a few dungeon doors, then i have a few summoning supplies to use up afterwards. Been camping at abby demons with guthans for the past week, selling the whips and just buying out oak planks :mrgreen: Lazy i know.

Not sure if there has been a mass ban, however i have noticed my smithing + woodcut rank goes up even when i don't train it. So a few hundred people are getting banned to say the least.

Heres a good site to get some inspiration: http://hackaday.com/ Most of the articles are hardware mods / robotics / programming All the good homebrew stuff ^.^

open a terminal: ifconfig -s does it show a device named "ppp0" ?

Try disable any compositing effects (like the windows aero theme). Changing the theme to the windows "classic" grey looking theme should increase your fps a bit. And also closing any uneeded programs.

Yeh this is real bad for nokia, nobody wants a windows phone lol. Another loss is that they will be ditching all their open-source related work on projects such as meego ( http://meego.com/ ) It was a dual partnership project between nokia + intel to create a mobile (linux based) platform for anything, almost identical to android, however it was designed to run on anything from phones to in-car entertainment. They also won't be able to use their Qt toolkit with windows, so it seems a waste for nokia to suddenly get in bed with microsoft. I read somewhere they will be sacking over 1000 of their staff related to opensource work aswell. Sounds like they did the wrong thing....

OS = FreeBSD 8.1 Port i am using: java/diablo-jre16 Which is the: Diablo Latte JRE 1.6.0-7 (I realise the licensed JRE for FreeBSD is quite old, but i don't think that is the problem.) Browser: Firefox 3.5 (not 3.6 because it requires a higher build version of java) I have just noticed however from when i installed java there was no working OpenJDK port for FreeBSD at the time.... Just looked on the handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html#Firefox ... It mentions a port and small instructions to work OpenJDK with Firefox 3.6. I will give that a try once FreeBSD 8.2 is released this month... i could do with a reinstall.

Runescript is most likely used for events in the world. Such as animations/sprites and movement. Deciding where an object should be placed on the map ( co-ordinates etc ). So i would only guess its a simple language (but powerful) for driving events. In other words it makes it easy to plot cutscenes and animation loops etc. The main "core" of runescape, (ie; graphics engine) is most likely working underneath runescript. When the graphics engine code is updated they could easily provide new functions for runescript, as we've seen with particles + zbuffering effects for example.

Ye PC-BSD is built ontop of the FreeBSD base system. I've had no luck getting anything more than safemode on that too. From what i understand, libjaggl.so = library for jagex's version of "jogl" aka java bindings for opengl libsw3d.so = most likely for software mode I'm wondering if the client launcher simply fails to detect the operating system so throws an exception, dropping to safemode because jagex probably haven't compiled the libraries for FreeBSD..?. And while those files do not exist, the game cant enter software/opengl modes. ...annoying.

Hey, just wondering if any of you guys have used FreeBSD (8.x) on your computer in the past or present. I'm curious if it is possible to play runescape on it in OpenGL mode. I typically run a Linux desktop (arch linux) for browsing the web / playing runescape because everything just works. However on the FreeBSD platform certain libraries do not appear within the cache download. Example on linux: $ ls ~/.jagex_cache_32/runescape/*.so /home/punk/.jagex_cache_32/runescape/libhw3d.so /home/punk/.jagex_cache_32/runescape/libjaclib.so /home/punk/.jagex_cache_32/runescape/libjaggl.so /home/punk/.jagex_cache_32/runescape/libsw3d.so And obviously those are *.dll files on windows. But no such thing will exist in FreeBSD so you can only end up playing on "safe mode". My main question is to ask whether anybody has managed to run runescape on FreeBSD in the OpenGL mode? I also use a nvidia card and have drivers installed. I'd love to know how to get it working (if it is possible) :wall:

An old one that used to be fun in pre-grand exchange times, was to kill the flax picking bots in seers village. I'm pretty sure it still works. If you head by relekka clothes store and buy a set of green fremmenik robes, you can stand in the flax field at seers with them on and the botters will attempt to "pick you" as its an identical colour to the flax. Just move a few spaces every second or so, and make your way south till you reach a few level 10 bats, and they get slaughtered. Of course, this only works on the lvl 3's that i know of. :lol:

Nice suggestion, but i wouldn't really like giant arrows flashing. Something i could live with, and be useful at the same time would be a simple "red message" in the chatbox. Maybe similar to the "your antifire potion is about to run out". I admit i have missed a few whips before now when browsing the web and not paying much attention to the drops. :ohnoes:

Definetely, a way to toggle between WASD control and typing. Did read on the rs forums from mod dowd a while back with a "we might be looking into it" sort of reaction. Can only hope it will be added. :thumbup:

Yes slayer is by far the best method. You will benefit from the high amount of alchable drops, including whips/bows if your lucky. :thumbsup:
